Conceptual to Detailed Cost Estimating
Beginning with estimating, a vital part in project cost management, historical data is used to accurately predict all aspects of the project. Complex projects make a distinction between different phases. Each phase requires a unique set of approaches and methods in order to come to a reliable cost estimate of the project.
Cleopatra Enterprise is the professional cost estimating software for today’s cost estimator. With the intuitive user interface, preparing a solid and trustworthy cost estimate has never been easier.
Cleopatra offers all the latest techniques, such as location factor tables, smart cost models and flexible breakdown structures.
Therefore, many companies worldwide have chosen for Cleopatra to improve their cost estimating process, from the very first conceptual estimate up to a definitive estimate based on detailed quantities.
Supported by experienced estimators
Our cost estimators have many years of experience in estimating all types of projects. Therefore, we speak the same language and can provide proper support throughout the implementation of Cleopatra Enterprise.
Built on industry best practices
Cleopatra Enterprise is developed in accordance with the Recommended Practices as published by the AACE International. This ensures that your estimates are based on proven methodologies that are accepted by the industry worldwide.
Better quality in less time
By using the latest technologies, Cleopatra allows you to make better estimates in less time. Whether it is assembly based estimating or resource based estimating, Cleopatra supports all estimating methodologies. This results in reliable and trustworthy estimates in every phase of your project.
Reliable Cost Data
To develop a good cost estimate reliable cost data is needed. Industry standard knowledgebases are available in Cleopatra, including CESK, Richardson and Page & Nations. From smart cost models to detailed unit-rates, you always have the right data at hand.

Dedicated Cost Control and EVM
Next to cost estimation, Cleopatra Enterprise offers full project controls capabilities, including forecasting, Earned Value Management (EVM) and progress measurement. This results in a total cost management solution that enables you to close the loop between cost estimation and cost management.
With Cleopatra you are able to seamlessly translate your final cost estimate into a suitable control document. When executing your project you can easily feedback actual project data into your estimating knowledgebase, establishing a continuous improvement cycle.
Quick Out-of-the-Box Usability
A recognizable and easy-to-use layout of your cost report is available out-of-the-box. No extensive configuration is needed, you can setup your control document right away. Everyone who is used to work on their cost reports in Excel will intuitively find their way in Cleopatra.
Transparent Change Management
Managing changes is essential in successfully performing cost control. Cleopatra uses a dedicated change register to keep track of changes and their status. The impact of changes on the project’s forecast can easily be visualized in Cleopatra, having a transparent overview at all times.
Real-time Dashboard Reports
Being able to quickly present the project’s performance is essential during month-end meetings. Cleopatra provides configurable dashboard reporting that will clearly present the status of your project portfolio, giving you timely warning signals. Configure your dashboard to show live plots, cost reports, key (project) metrics and much more.

Big data analytics and in-depth project metrics
Cost data of the executed and running projects provide a valuable source of information. With the Benchmark capabilities of Cleopatra Enterprise, you can easily extract metrics from executed and running projects, discover trends in key cost drivers and ratios, and compare the performance of projects and common assets.
Being able to benchmark your estimate against comparable projects and historical data will increase the accuracy and reliability of the future cost estimates.
Compare projects and extract metrics
The project benchmarking tool in Cleopatra Enterprise includes various techniques to easily compare executed and running projects. Together with the big data analytics capabilities, Cleopatra Benchmark will immediately help you extract metrics and discover trends in key cost drivers and ratios.
Improve the accuracy of future cost estimates
With the Benchmark module, Cleopatra provides an integrated solution for the total project lifecycle. You can improve the accuracy of future cost estimates with the help of the feedback loop between Cleopatra Benchmark and Cost Estimation.
Flexible and easy-to-use reporting
From project and asset breakdown comparison to waterfall and trend analysis to geographical reporting, you are able to develop meaningful reports with Cleopatra Benchmark. Combining the most needed reports in a dashboard, you will be more comfortable with high-level decision making.

Cost Management for Turnarounds
Cost Engineering provides an innovative management and control solution for STOs.
From the tendering process to select the best contractors, to the cost control during execution, Cost Engineering brings the expertise needed for these complex and time-driven projects.
Tendering
Selecting the right contractor for the job is the basis for a successful turnaround or maintenance project. Cost Engineering has helped many companies in the tendering, bidding and evaluation process, resulting in the selection of the best contractors.
Contract Strategy
Turnarounds are known for their complexity and time constraints where multiple contractors need to work together. Having the right contract strategy is critical to its success. Cost Engineering has extensive experience in contract strategies, allowing us to advise and implement the best contract strategy for your situation.
Stay within time and budget
Especially for turnarounds proper control is needed to avoid delays and cost overruns. During the execution of a turnaround Cost Engineering can perform cost control onsite. Our turnaround experts ensure that the interfaces with scheduling, ERP and budgeting systems are aligned. Keeping the costs of the turnaround within budget and preventing delays is what we do best.
